It feels like forever since I have added a fanfic chapter! Then again that is probably because it has been. I apologize for the long wait. I missed writing so much, but I had fanfiction writer's block. It was bad, but I got sick of it and now I am forcing my way through it, or at least trying to... I am hoping to update more of my stories soon...but I have said that before and it hasn't necessarily happened yet, but I am going to try my hardest too! Thank you reviewers who have kept reading my story(ies)! Your response means the world to me and that is why I am forcing myself through this writer's block! :D Enjoy! As Always -Greengirl16

Cupcakes for reviewers! :D

The Wizard sat on his throne enjoying life, smiling in satisfaction with all the good things that had happened in the last few days. His plan had worked, he now had Elphaba under his spell and she would do anything for him. At this rate the entire Animal population would be wiped out in less than a year. Just thinking about it made his heart fill with joy.

Soon he heard and crashing noise from down the hall. He looked up surprised. His throne room door was thrown open and a furious large woman with heavy makeup stood in the doorway. Morrible held up a rolled up paper that she had clutched in her hands. The Wizard stood and crossed the room to where the woman stood. He read the headline and froze: ANIMALS PROTESTING THE WIZARD'S BANS. "She told," Morrible sneered, "I told you we couldn't trust that dumb blonde."

The Wizard was still frozen in shock, "We must stop her, but how."

Something sparked in Morrible's eyes, "I have an idea that might just work…"

"What?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Of course! Now just stop her before all of Oz starts to plot my assassination!"

Morrible smiled wickedly and left the Wizard standing in the room confused.

Three Hours Later…

Half of Oz aligned the streets of the Emerald City, waiting for some kind of conference the Wizard had called last minute and although a lot of Ozians were starting to doubt their ruler's greatness they showed up anyways.

The heard the Palace door open and looked towards it, noticing it still remained locked.

"Citizens of Oz," a loud voice boomed. The Ozians turned there gaze towards the balcony where they recognized the Wizards Press Secretary, Meredith Morrible. "There is an enemy who must be found and captured," she continued, "Believe nothing she says, she's evil. Responsible for trying to hypnotize this poor, innocent girl," Morrible said, grabbing Elphaba's wrist and pulling her out onto the balcony. Ozians gasped as the realized someone had tried to hypnotize their new Magic Grand Vizier. "Her blonde hair and angelic face is just a disguise for her twisted nature. This distortion…. this repulsion…this WICKED witch!" The Ozians all screamed and tried to run toward safety, but it was hard to push through the crowd. Morrible listened to the screams of terror and the crying and then reentered the palace, Elphaba closed behind her, a smug look on her face. She turned to the Wizard, "There you should be safe now," and the turned and continued down the hallway.

Shiz students screamed as a charming prince skidded to a halt and sharply turned down an alley way, running over several students. People were dodging out of the way, flinging their books to the ground in attempt to get out of his path. Fiyero finally reached the building and climbed the stairs, taking them two steps at a time. He pounded on one of the door rooms.

"It's open," a muffled voice called from inside.

Fiyero entered, glancing around wildly to see where she was.

The dorm room TV was turned on the news replaying Morrible's speech over and over. Flashing pictures of the 'witch.' Fiyero saw the small blonde hunched over in the corner, grabbing clothes and stuffing them into a suitcase. "Glinda…," he said softly. She turned to look at him, makeup smeared all over her face making it evident she had been crying. Her eyes were dull, missing that charming sparkle they usually contained. "What are you doing," Fiyero asked confused.

"I can't stay here, I'm not safe," she whispered.

"Where are you going to go?"

"I don't know yet, but all of Oz is searching for me and I will not be punished for something I didn't do."

Fiyero wrapped his arms around her tiny frame, wishing he could ease her pain, but there was no use.

"I am going away for a bit, but I am not going to give up. Something is going on I just know it," Glinda said, her face set with determination, but Fiyero could see through her façade and realized she was terrified.

Fiyero nodded.

He watched Glinda grab her bag and ran out the door, they took one last look at each other and then she was gone.

The next three weeks dragged by so slowly at Shiz. The gossip about the wicked witch of the north was starting to die down, but Fiyero still occasionally heard rumors about different problems the witch was causing.

Fiyero was now walking down the streets just outside of the campus. He walked into a local bar and sat down on one the stools. He picked up the paper; he didn't know why he bothered to read it anymore. It consisted lies about Glinda and the all the 'good' work the magic vizier was doing. It was all so depressing and way too much for him to handle. He sighed and put his head down on the bar.

"Can I get you something," a young bartender asked, approaching him.

Fiyero wasn't one for drinking, but he nodded his head, "I'll take anything, you choose."

The bartender returned, "Here this should dull the pain."

Fiyero smiled weakly and drank down the fluid. It tasted horrible, but it did take the edge off.

Two hours and 10 drinks later, Fiyero stumbled out from the bar. He walked crookedly down the street, his site blurred so he couldn't exactly see where he was going. He managed to make it back to his dorm and just as he shut and locked the door, he passed out in the middle of the floor.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fiyero groaned as his eyes fluttered open, the bright light making his extreme headache ten times worse. He rolled over and realized he was on the floor and then remembered he had been drinking. He glanced at the clock, 1 p.m. He had been asleep fourteen hours. He slowly got up, wincing in pain, and made his way to the bathroom. He took a shower which made him feel a bit better and it allowed him to think more clearly.

Glinda was now a fugitive and he had to prove her innocence to all of Oz, which would be an extremely difficult task and he had to get to Elphaba. How would he ever manage to complete the two hardest tasks he'd ever faced? He thought for a minute, starting at the Emerald City might help. It would increase his chances of running into Elphaba. He ran to grab a suitcase and started to pack some clothes for his trip, but realized that he needed a better plan. Sure he could visit the Emerald City, but Elphaba lived in the palace and to get into the palace was extremely rare.

Fiyero grabbed his phone and was about to stuff it in his pocket when an idea struck him. He opened it and started to dial. There was a click at the other end and he heard the deep voice, "Hello?"

"Hey dad, it's Fiyero."

"Fiyero please tell me you're not calling to inform me you got kicked out of school again."

"No," Fiyero heard his dad exhale with relief, "I am actually calling to see if you can hook me up with a job in the Emerald City Palace."

"Fiyero Tiggular, have you lost your mind?! Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a job there?!"

"Yes I realize that, but I am desperate, this is really important I swear, please father can you just try?"

"I guess it won't hurt to try…"

"Thanks so much, dad! Bye."

"Bye."

Fiyero jumped on his bed and waited, hoping his dad could somehow manage to hook him up with a job in the Emerald City.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It had been 24 hours since Fiyero had called his dad and Fiyero was ready to lose his mind. He had never been so anxious in his life. He couldn't stand it anymore he needed to move. He shoved his phone in his pocket, double checking he didn't have a missed call before he did so, and walked out of his dorm room.

It was a cloudy, gloomy day. Fiyero glanced at the sky and could tell it was about to rain. He started walked to a near by café he and Elphaba used to study at. He flinched, his memories turning to his best friend, who he secretly adored and wished she were his, but no one knew that. He wished she were here with him so he could tell her how much he loved her, but life wasn't that easy. Something had happened in the Emerald City, something highly suspicious. Now that Glinda was gone he might not be able to solve this mystery by himself, but he had to try. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if he didn't try. If his dad did manage to get him a job it would be extremely helpful.

Fiyero was about halfway to the café when it started to downpour. Could things get any worse? He started to run towards the nearest shelter, but he spotted a student sitting on a bench under a tree. The student had their arms over their head they were slumped down in the bench. It sparked Fiyero's curiosity, something about the strangeness of the situation maybe… or maybe it was because it was exactly what Fiyero felt like doing. He glanced at the nice, dry shelter once more before sighing and approaching the kid. He tapped the guy on the shoulder. The boy lifted his head and glared at Fiyero. Fiyero jumped back, slightly frightened. The boy's eyes were blood shot and there were dark circles under them. He looked more like a zombie than a college student. "Boq?" Fiyero questioned, barely recognizing the munchkin. Boq slowly nodded his head. "What happened? Did Nessa break up with you?"

Boq gave Fiyero an icy glare. He was never fond of the prince, "Why do you care."

"Because…I am a caring person…?"

Boq snorted, "Ha, I thought I'd be dead before you cared about anyone but yourself."

"I am not that shallow and self absorbed."

"Right…" Boq said sarcastically.

"Fine if you don't want to tell me…" Fiyero turned and started to walk away.

"It's just-"

Fiyero turned back around and faced the munchkin.

"All these rumors, I just can't bring myself to believe them… She's wicked? She wouldn't harm a fly, I know her better than that."

Only because you stalked her for two years. "Well you probably can't believe them because they are not true."

"What do you mean?"

"The Wizard is lying to all of Oz. He's harming the Animals and is behind all of their banns. Something bad happened in the Emerald City when Glinda and Elphaba visited. Glinda informed me of this before she left…"

"Wait, the Wizard is lying to us and is evil?! What did Glinda say?"

"She never got to tell me all the details before she left. All she said was she suspects the Wizard is up to no good…"

Boq looked stunned and started to ask another question, but was cut off by a ringing phone.

Fiyero jumped up and answered, motioning for Boq to be quiet.

"Hello?"

"Hey son, great news!"

"What?"

"I managed to get you a job!"

"Oh my Oz! That's awesome dad! I cannot thank you enough!"

"Don't mention it. A friend of mine informed me someone on the Wizard's staff recently retired. I pulled a few strings and now you are the new captain of the Gale Force!"

"Sweet Oz! Thank you so much!" Fiyero couldn't have picked a better position. He'd be able to get to Elphaba and find Glinda without anyone ever suspecting!

"Well I have to attend a meeting with the Governor of Munchkinland so good luck!"

"Thank you so much dad, I owe you."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Boq gave Fiyero a curious look.

"My dad hooked me up with a job at the Emerald City!"

"Congrats…?"

"I'll be able to get to Elphaba and find Glinda!"

Boq's eyes lit up on the last part.

"I promise you Boq, I will find out what's going on, I will fix this." Fiyero turned and ran back towards his dorm, a doubtful and somewhat hopeful Boq watching him leave.

Review? :)
